My New Favorite Dinner......

This is now my favorite dinner! I love when I see something that looks good and when I attempt it, I succeed! The best part is when your family (namely the picky eaters) devour it!

I found this recipe from http://www.sistersstuff.blogspot.com/
They have lots of fun things on their blog.

Here is the recipe if you are in the mood to try something new and yummy!

BOIL BROTH, VINIGAR, SOY SAUCE, AND KETCHUP. POUR OVER CHICKEN. BAKE AT 350 DEGREES FOR 45 MIN.- 1 HOUR.

More Summer Fun!

To continue with the festivities of summer, we decided to spend the day at Lagoon.

Half way into the day, I realized the camera was in the car. I wish I had gotten more pictures of the kids. They had so much fun. Katelyn was a crack up on the rides. She laughed so hard and got so excited while ridding. The best part was when she rode the "Bumpin Cars" AKA the Bumper Cars. She was laughing so hard as she drove her car all over the place. Then at one point she was just going around and around in a circle, with the biggest grin on her face. It was a fun and exhausting day!

My brothers and their kids came with us to the splash park earlier this week.

I love the splash park. It is such an easy and safe way for the kids to play and get wet!

This week for playgroup we went up Little Cottonwood Canyon to walk around and explore the temple quarry.

The kids loved being able to climb on the rocks.

They also loved jumping off !

I love summer! So many fun things to do!

Sum....Sum....Summertime!

Brace yourselves.......there are plenty of pictures in this post!

First off, these are just two cute pictures of Jace. He is 3 months old now and has two teeth! Yes, TWO teeth!

Summer is in full swing and we have been doing some fun things.

Last weekend we had a Davis family reunion at my mom's cousin's house.

They have a beautiful home and yard. The kids all had a great time exploring and playing.

Katelyn and Sophie playing in the fountain.

We all gathered together and listened to my grandpa and his sisters tell stories of their growing up years. It was fun to hear them talk about experiences in their lives.

Having lunch!

There were 145 of us! Aunts, uncles, grandparents, first, second and third cousins! Most of these people we haven't seen for many years. It was fun to see how everyone had changed and how their families have grown.

Don't the kids look thrilled?! They had to stop playing long enough to run through introductions!

My Grandparents. Grandpa is always pulling a funny face when his picture is taken!

Another adventure last week was going up the canyon with some of Kelly's family. We had such a fun evening.

We roasted marshmallows, had tin foil dinners and dutch oven peach cobbler! Those are some of my favorite parts about being in the mountains.


Uncle Kelcey brought up his fishing gear and let the boys give it a try. This was the first time Connor had tried fishing and he caught a fish in the first few minutes. He was pretty thrilled!

We also made another trip to the pool.

This is my niece Tayler. After jumping off the high dive, Kelly got her to try the platform just higher than this. She almost didn't do it, but we all started chanting her name and she jumped right off. She was pretty proud! Plus grandpa said he would give her $10 if she did it!

These next few pictures loaded backwards and I am too tired to fix it. You get the idea anyway!




We also went to the park for a 4th of July picnic. We had it on Saturday and it was COLD! Well, had it not been for the wind, it probably wouldn't have been too bad. But I honestly couldn't remember a time I ever wore a jacket on the 4th of July



We had a game of kickball.





Kelly and Katelyn ate ice cream in a tree!

And despite the cool and windy day, we had a great time with our family!

Later this week we are headed to Lagoon and then next week we are off to Island Park. Stay tuned to hear about those adventures!
